Hi Hamid,

AD2004 SP4 is missing a lot of really great features so I can
understand the gap is not so wide, but since then there has
been a lot added, and mostly to the schematic and pcb editors. 
I won't list them here as the Altium web site covers them very 
well, including videos to show some.

It did take me a while to break thinking like 99SE :(

yep, big improvements to the Sim module.

The panels, I guess ?

Well that's your opinion, but I think we should make our comments
and not include others in that, they can post their own. IMO its
better, faster.

not fix bugs ? in Altium Designer ? they are fixing bugs and making
improvements almost every day, are you talking about 99SE ?

yep, I understand that, even so, its VERY quite, and a lot of the
posters here are using AD2004 or AD6.
